Who knows the meaning of some numbers in Buddhism, such as what the particles of beads represent and what the height of the Buddha statue represents?

Beads, also called rosary beads, are tools used by Buddhists to count and bind their knots when they recite Buddha. At the same time, it is also a necessary token for Buddhist disciples to practice. Today, many people who like fashion or show their individuality also wear a string of beads, but they may not know the meaning of beads of different lengths:

According to Tibetan scriptures, the top-grade Buddha beads are 1080. Because they are too long, these beads are only used by a few monks and hermits, or they are used as decorations by famous monks at Dafa meetings, and few people use them. Top-grade beads 108 (tantric 1 10), 54 middle-grade beads, the remaining 42, 2 1, 14, 36 pure land Sect, and Zen 18.

The number of beads has its own meaning: 1080, including each of the ten dharma circles108; 108 pills, indicating simple 108 kinds of troubles, or merits of 108 kinds of buddhas, or 108 kinds of infinite samadhi, etc. 54 pills represent the realm of self-cultivation; 42 tablets, indicating the level of bodhisattvas such as living, walking, walking and land; 27 pills, representing 27 sages who have heard of them; 2 1 capsule, which is in Buddhism.

Representing the original ten places and the ten places of repairing Buddha's fruit; 14 pill, which means 14 forbearance (three sages, ten saints plus enlightenment) mentioned in The Book of Kings. The remaining 36, 18 beads etc. All of them are divided into one-third or one-sixth of the number 108 for portability, and the others are thirty-six zenith or eighteen magical changes expressed by outsiders, with no other meaning.

The rosary is a kind of thing used in Buddhism, and it is a tool for counting when chanting Buddha's number or chanting, so it is also called "Buddha's bead" or "counting beads". Generally, small round particles made of fragrant wood are worn in a string, and there are also jade agates.

The average number of beads is 14, 18, 2 1, 27, 36, 42, 54, 108, 1080. It is said that there are many troubles in the world. Say "there is no Amitabha in the south" and dial a Buddha bead to relieve your troubles. Because when chanting Buddha, all distractions and evil thoughts should be eliminated to keep the soul clean, so the prayer beads are also called "pure heart beads". Buddhism said, "If you sincerely say' Amitabha', you can eliminate 8 billion felony robberies of life and death."

Modern people play with jade or hide jade, even as a fashion. Although they don't believe in Buddhism, they can also hide jade beads as ordinary jade. In this way, we might as well consider choosing Hetian white jade or Hetian sapphire beads, which are fine in texture, oily and smooth. Although jade beads are beautiful in luster and hard in texture, they are prone to "long hair" and lose their original charm after playing for a long time, so they are not as "lively" as beads made of Hetian jade. Always play with the beads repeatedly, so that you can use your hands, brains and hearts, cultivate your self-cultivation, be healthy and enjoy yourself.
